Anyone else frightened/miffed by the fact that Kevin Smith’s new porno-lovestory comedy – the imaginitively titled “Zack & Miri Make A Porno” – is jacking members of Judd Apatow’s acting troupe, specifically “40 Year Old Virgin” co-stars Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks?
You’ll recall even Smith “friend” Rosario Dawson even bailed on this one early on, but Variety has confirmed that Rogen and Banks are onboard to portray the titular characters. We kinda call some BS on this and think Smith is doing everything he can to borrow some of Apatow’s shine, but we would say that, as we basically believe Smith should be barred from making anymore films.
Whatever, actors are adults and they’ll sign on for whatever they want, but it just makes us feel a little gross.
The film which revolves broke plantonic friends that make a porno for quick cash and then slowly realize they have feelings for one another is the 7th film that Smith is making for the Weinsteins (no accounting for taste).
